NFoPP has joined forces with the Association of International Property Professionals (AIPP).
The two organisations say they believe the merger will strengthen their offerings in the international property sector.
The merger comes five years after the Federation of Overseas Property Developers, Agents and Consultants merged with the NAEA’s International wing.
As part of the latest merger, the NAEA International brand will be subsumed into AIPP, but it will retain its identity.
AIPP was established six years ago and is the industry body representing property specialists across the globe, including developers, agents and professional service providers.
Sue Ash, chair of AIPP, which was established six years ago, said: “The international property industry needs one strong, dedicated organisation committed to strengthening professional standards and giving the public confidence in buying property overseas.
“I have no doubt that this amalgamation is a tremendous opportunity for both AIPP and NFoPP.
“It accelerates our joint aims to develop a global association of like-minded companies, intent on delivering the best for those working in the industry as well as for consumers and investors. It builds on all that has been achieved by the AIPP in the last six years.”
Mark Hayward, acting chief executive of NFoPP, said: “For some time now, we have represented UK-based international property professionals through NAEA International and other NFoPP brands; however, we wanted to bolster our presence in reflection of the growing market strength.
“We are therefore really pleased to be bringing NAEA International and AIPP under one brand, and in doing so, creating an organisation with a truly global reach, extensive membership base and complementary standards and procedures.”
